March Menuism Restaurant Reviewer Winner

Congratulations to Kimberly aka writingkimberly for submitting the winning review for the March Menuism Restaurant Review Contest!  Her posting about El Paragua Restaurant in Espanola, NM came about because she got a tip from a 40-year Espanola local, which is why it’s always good to ask the locals for the best places to eat.  At El Paragua, Kimberly got not only a fantastic meal, but at a price that won’t give you the recession blues.  To read Kimberly’s review, click here. To find out more about Kimberly and her thoughts on food, please read her bio below:

I would never use a word like “foodie,” although I do have a healthy appreciation for a great meal! Since I’m a pragmatist, I especially love high quality, affordable meals. I particularly enjoy international cuisine. I am a champion of all things burrito, and usually seek out vegetarian food.

I’m a lawyer and a writer, so judging restaurants and writing about my opinions is second nature. A quality dining experience isn’t just about the food, though; it’s also about the ambiance, the menu, and the company. I’ve found that I can be just as satisfied by a $5 burger as by a $25 risotto, depending on the context and quality of the preparation and ingredients.

One of my favorite things about eating out is incorporating key principles of great meals I’ve been served into my own cooking at home. Feed me a fish, and I’m full for the day. Teach me how to prepare it and, well you know how the saying goes!

Thanks to Kimberly for sharing her experience with us and because she put her fingers to keyboard and submitted her review, Kimberly has won a $200 Gift Card and a Menuism T-Shirt.  If you’d like a chance to win April’s Menuism Restaurant Review Contest,  click here for more info and Good Luck to You!
